No video, but good audio, in Live Viewer, readynas surveillance Toolkit.

hello

I still use readynas surveillance with my 524x and 4x4tb disks. I have 11 cameras and the toolkit has been working fine on my windows10 rig. I still think it is a very good program.

 

I recently bought a better pc. intel i9, rtx 3080, M.2 samsung 980. etc. It runs with windows 11.

 

I have been wanting to upgrade to w11 for some time.

 

Now, of course, the surveillance toolkit dont work.

 

Therefore i have installed a virtualbox with windows 7. I have installed the plugin for IE. i have isntalled C++ and Java. 

 

In Live viewer i get good audio but no video? anyone now why?

 

And the Playback system starts but i get a red square that says fault and it wont work.

 

Has anyone managed to run readynas Surveillance Toolkit on a Windows 11 rig?

 

Best regards to you all.

  • Hello

    I can answer my own question.

    I started a windows 10 virtual mashine instead of windows 7. 

    Installed Java and C++ 

    The toolkit works fine on  this virtual mashine. I can use live viewer and playback system with no problems.

    All this under windows 11

    Thanks for your time
